Now entering its 100th year as a gathering hub, the Maltz Performing Arts Center is celebrating with its most expansive music season ever, joining Cleveland’s diverse population with music and events that highlight community, education and joy, says its director Jason Cohen.
Nestled within the opening of the Opportunity Corridor, the Maltz Performing Arts Center, formerly Silver’s Temple and fully renovated in 2015, in a partnership between Case Western Reserve University and The Temple Tifereth Israel, with support from Milton and Tamar Maltz.
“It’s like this wonderful secret that we really don’t want to keep. Everyone in Cleveland recognizes the Golden Dome and our building, but everyone is surprised to find out that there’s a fully modernized performing arts center under that roof,” Cohen says.
